Scientific paper

Polar conductivities, ion densities and mobilities measured in three balloon experiments are reported here. Of these, two were made with self-aspirated and one with pumped Gerdien condensers. These measurements were carried out over the period 1985-1986. Both positive and negative ion data were obtained only in the first flight. Positive ions were not collected in the other two flights. The conductivity profiles obtained from the self-aspirated condensers showed fluctuations around the tropopause. These were not seen when the pumped condenser was used. Reduced mobilities of both positive and negative ions agree well with those reported by other experimenters. The ion density profile from the pumped condenser measurement showed a broad maximum around 15 km, as expected from theory. The values were less than what are obtained using available ion pair production rates and recombination coefficients.
